wxpython form code example

Example: wxpython basic example

#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# A very simple wxPython example.  Just a wx.Frame, wx.Panel,
# wx.StaticText, wx.Button, and a wx.BoxSizer, but it shows the basic
# structure of any wxPython application.
